Oh my god I'm so sorry I posted the bad copy! Here's the good one
Ch.18
Ron was looking out at the setting sun thinking about how they were all growing up so fast. Voldemort was coming, he knew deep down that this was just the calm before the storm. He sighed thinking about how much he wished he could somehow protect Hermione. But he knew he couldn't
Harry and Ginny were laying in their bed talking and laughing.
Suddenly they heard bang and screams. Harry immediately got up and ran to see what was going on. He told Ginny he loved her and told her he be back and to stay there.
He ran up to see what was going on but he knew it was something bad, he could feel it in his gut.
He ran up the stairs to the first deck a saw a bunch of Death Eaters making their way onto the ship and killing everyone in sight.
He ran down stairs and to Hermione and Ron's door which he banged on loudly.
Ron came to the door looking tired and scruffy.
"Quick…Ron…Death Eaters…lots of them… get Hermione…and the emergency floo powder… Then come to mine and Ginny's room… Quickly!" He got out between breaths.
Ron looked up and stared open mouthed.
"How…?"
"Just hurry!" Harry said and ran back into his and Ginny's suite.
A few seconds later Ron and Hermione were in Harry's and Ginny's room looking wide eyed and a bit scared.
"Is You-Know-Who like a stalker?" Ron asked after they have put a powerful locking charm on the room.
"This is no time for jokes Ron, we need to get out of here and fast, that locking charm is strong but won't last very long with Death Eaters about." Hermione said looking stone faced
"You brought the floo powder?" Harry asked Ron
"Yeah" Ron answered and pulled the floo powder bucket out of his pocket which was enlarged magically.
"Ok well there's a fire place here and its hooked up to the floo network so I think we'll be able to go to the Burrow"
"Ok good, lets go then" Ron said waving everyone over to the fire place.
"Ginny you go first" Harry said
"No I want to stay here with you" Ginny said looking stubborn
"Just go Ginny!" Ron said looking mad
Ginny hesently stepped into the fireplace
"Ass" She muttered under her breath but took some floo powder and called "The Burrow" anyway
After Ginny was gone both Harry and Ron looked at Hermione
"Why are you making the women go first?" Hermione demanded "Women are just as smart..." But she never finished because Ron interrupted her
"Go Hermione! You can argue about Women's right's when were all at the Burrow, safe"
"Fine" she said climbing in the fireplace and leaving in a huff to.
"You go next mate" Harry said patting Ron on the back
"But Harry" There was a loud banging noise coming from the door
Ron grabbed the floo powder and Harry they climbed into the fireplace together and were gone as soon as Harry shouted "The Burrow"
"Oh God what's taking them so long?" Hermione said pacing in front of the fire place
"Don't worry Herm they'll be back soon" Ginny said trying to comfort her friend.
The next moment there was a loud clamor as two teenage boys fell out of the fireplace.
"Hey Mione, I'm home!" Ron said with a grin at Hermione
Hermione just when over and slapped him
"DON'T YOU EVER TAKE THAT LONG AGAIN; I THOUGHT THE FUCKING DEATH EATERS HAD GOT YOU!" She shrieked
Harry almost laughed at the look on Ron's face. He looked more afraid of Hermione than any of the Death Eaters they had fought over the years, but the truth was he was a little scared too.
"And you" Hermione said, turning to look at Harry "DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED GINNY MUST HAVE BEEN!"
Ginny wore a look that said, 'I wasn't THAT worried, I knew Ron would get you back in one piece but I'm not going to say anything because I don't want to get yelled at.'
"Sorry…" Harry said
"Well, I HOPE you know that you will be kissing myself and Ginny's asses for the next few days to show how SORRY you really are" Hermione said with an evil grin.
'Oh no' thought both of the boys as they stared up at the once-mad-but-now-evil looking Hermione.
Ginny was having a silent giggling fit behind Hermione.
"Um…" Ron said in a strangled whisper "What do we have to do?"
"Oh you'll find out now can you please go find your parents and tell then what happened on the cruise they'll want to alert The Order." Hermione said still grinning but the grin fading as she thought about The Order and Voldemart after them.
"Ok" Harry said patting Hermione on the shoulder and kissing Ginny on the cheek.
As soon as The Order found out about their cruise that went wrong they made Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione go back to Number 7 Grimmland Place.
"I don't understand why we have to come here!" Ron said angrily "It's just making Harry's depression even worse! And for a minute there I thought he was getting better! But NOOO Voldie had to show up and wreck everything!"
Hermione was laying on the old dusty bed watching Ron rant and rave about only God knows what.
"Ronald!" Hermione finally snapped
Ron shut-up and looked at her
"What?" He asked
"Would you please do me a favor and shut the hell up!"
Ron looked dazed for a minute but then replied
"Why should I? There's nothing else to do here."
Hermione groaned and shut her eyes
"Come over here"
He did as he was told
"What do you want?" He asked with a huff
"What do you say we have a little fun?" She said with a glint in her eye
"How do we have fun when where stuck in a bloody hell hole?"
"We sneak out" Hermione said lifting up a flier
Ron looked at it "Carnival, lots of rides and games" it had a picture of a huge wheel that Ron had never seen in his life and people were riding on it.
He lifted an eyebrow
Hermione explained what a carnival was while Ron looked at the picture.
By the time Hermione was done explaining He had a grin plastered to his face
"Sounds brilliant 'Mione" He said "Just like you" and kissed her nose affectionately.
It was Hermione's turn to lift an eyebrow but ended up laughing while Ron sat there looking hurt.
"Cheesy pickup line" She said and continued laughing
Hey people,
So do you like the direction the stories going in? Let me know. And yes I know it was sad that they had to end there cruise so soon, but it was just getting too boring and predictable. So hopefully this will be better.
See ya.
